Tasty Treats Slot review
It’s time for another cluster-pay slot game with the Tasty Treats slot from Hacksaw Gaming. Hacksaw has a great catalogue of games under its belt, and Tasty Treats is another example of the studio’s ability to do a lot with quite a basic theme. The slot invites players to take a trip to a candy-coloured world full of the kind of sweets and cakes that give you a cavity just from looking at them. Let’s take a bite into them and find out what's in store for us in this Tasty Treats slot review.
Tasty Treats Theme and Design
Those with a disposition towards sweet treats will probably want to book a dentist appointment before playing Tasty Treats. The game is smothered in sugary goodness, with the symbols on the reels being a collection of candy and cakes. The background of the game features giant candy sticks and marshmallow mountains. While it is not the most original of designs, it is nice and colourful and it doesn’t overdo it like similar slots in the genre.
How to Play Tasty Treats
Tasty Treats offers what we have come to expect from cluster slots at this point. The fun takes place on a 6x5 grid, with the game paying out for winning clusters of five or more symbols. The symbols are all based on sugary treats, with a Donut being the highest standard-paying symbol, offering a 60x win for combos of 15 or more.
As with most cluster-pay slots, there is a Tumble feature active. Whenever players land a winning combo, the winning symbols will disappear off the grid and new ones will drop down. This continues until there are no winning clusters left.
In the demo version of the slot, the betting ranged from €0.20 up to €100, though this can vary between casinos. The RTP of the slot varies as well, with the highest version offering 96.21%. Other versions are lower at 94.23% and 92.40%, so be sure to check in the info section when you load the game up.
The slot is highly volatile, offering players an impressive maximum win of 10,000x their overall stake.
Tasty Treats Bonus Features
One of the first features you will likely run into in Tasty Treats is the Bubble Boosters. These Bubbles will float over the reels and pop over a random position. The bubbles can contain both overlaying multipliers and Wild symbols. If a multiplier lands on a winning cluster, it will be applied to the win. It is possible to have up to five bubbles appear at once, with a maximum size of 3x3 each. The multipliers available are x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x25, x50, or x100. Two multipliers landing on a winning cluster are added together.
Landing three of the Free Spins symbols on the grid launches the Free Spins round. The number of spins rewarded is totally random, with each Scatter symbol changing to display a number. The numbers are then added together. During the round, there is an increased number of Bubble Boosters active. It is also possible to retrigger free spins during the round. Any time a Scatter lands, it will reveal a random number of additional spins to be added.
If you want to skip the queue and enter the Free Spins round early, a Buy Bonus option is available. This will cost players 128x their stake. It is worth noting that this option will not be available in all locations.
Finally, there is another feature that can trigger on any random spin. It is the Monster Hand, and when it triggers, a giant hand reaches out and removes symbols from the grid, with new ones falling down. It will either remove the first three reels, the last three, or all of them.
Tasty Treats Slot Verdict
Tasty Treats is a very fitting name for this delightful slot game from Hacksaw Gaming. The Bubble Boosters and the Free Spins bonuses complement each other nicely, while the Boosters’ presence in the base game keeps players engaged. The design of the slot is fairly generic but we can forgive it because of its fun gameplay. On top of this, a 10,000x max-win is never something to moan about.
